| - There are two possible scenarios here. One, my anticipation may have resulted in a harsh star rating. Or, this buffet simply didn't meet my expectation. I'm leaning towards the latter.
After reading the reviews, and looking at the pictures, I was excited for the small plate concept, the variety, and beauty. That is, until I realized that this place was more novel than delicious.
The layout is cumbersome, and other than presentation, the food taste more like typical buffet fare than Vegas magic. The fried chicken, burgers, and lamb chop were under flavored and slightly over cooked. The seafood choices, for the most part were unimaginative. My grilled corn was undercooked, individual lasagna overcooked, and the majority of the Asian section was pedestrian.
On the other hand, I liked the dim sum section, I enjoyed a tasty meatball, brisket, watermelon and feta salad, and steaming the crab was a nice touch. But after a two hour wait, and $108, it just doesn't add up. If you must go, go right before brunch, and stay for dinner. But, if you want a Vegas buffet experience go to the Wynn, Bellagio, and Paris. I know the Wynn and Bellagio have been suggested forever, but with good reason: they amaze with their ability to make large quantities of food actually taste good. Although their food is not as trendy as bacchanal, it simply taste better. The Paris is a bit underrated for their quality and choices.
